63071-5

LOINC code 63071-5 identifies "PhenX - reproductive history - male protocol 101302". The male participant is asked whether he has ever fathered a pregnancy. For each pregnancy he reports, he is asked his age at the time, whether the pregnancy was planned and the birth outcome. If the participant answers "no" to question one, the protocol is deemed complete. Below is a definition from the Mayo Clinic website that may assist researchers in using the toolkit: Ectopic pregnancy: Pregnancy begins with a fertilized egg. Normally, the fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of the uterus. With an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants somewhere else. An ectopic pregnancy nearly always occurs in one of the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus (fallopian tubes). This type of ectopic pregnancy is known as a tubal pregnancy. Rarely, an ectopic pregnancy occurs in the abdomen, ovary or neck of the uterus (cervix). (Mayo Clinic. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ectopic-pregnancy/DS00622 accessed on February 15, 2010.)

This code measures PhenX - reproductive history - male protocol 101302 in ^Patient. It belongs to the PANEL.PHENX class in the LOINC classification.
